2022 Map of Wayne

About this map

The agricultural plains of north-central Kansas are defined here by a network of drainage creeks and scattered rural burying grounds. Small clusters of settlement at Wayne and Talmo serve as the primary hubs in an area otherwise dominated by section-line roads and family farms. The landscape is carved by winding waterways including Salt Cr, Coal Cr, and Turkey Cr, which likely dictated the earliest patterns of land division and homesteading. Genealogy researchers will find several well-preserved local landmarks, including Frontier Cem in the north and Hollis Cem at the southern edge of the quadrangle. The presence of Rose Hill Cem, Union Cem, and Zion Cem suggests the historical locations of early pioneer congregations and rural communities that once thrived along the border of Republic Co and Cloud Co. Local travel is documented along routes such as Salt Creek Trl and Zion Trl.
